The West Village’s very first IHOP is officially open for business. In the works for a couple months, the popular eatery opened on New Year’s Day, located at the intersection of Carmine and Varick. It’s conveniently in close proximity to Greenhouse, W.i.P., S.O.B.’s and more, so you can be sure that there will be plenty of post-club IHOP-ing!

A tipster sends word that the West Village’s first IHOP opened on New Year’s Day. It’s located at the intersection of Carmine and Varick streets, right next to Kumon. In other news, Little Italy Pizza just closed near St. Marks Place, so perhaps there is some sort of karmic balance in the world of cheap chain restaurants serving lame drunk food.
